question about hosting problems

PDF · #1 January 18th, 2006, 07:10 AM

Never heard of this sort of error ... looks like a technical problem rather than a software issue.

But I'm not sure of your case : did you start a machine as a server before attempting to log on to the game ? Can you play on the host machine but not log on from another ? Does a ping to the host from the client work (ie can the client reach the host) ?

Anyway you could try one thing : start a game as server and try to log on to it from the *same* machine (launch a second occurence of Dom2 and type your own IP). Does this work ?

- To connect on the local machine, you might as well use the local IP: 127.0.0.1 . May even work better, but I don't have that much practise with Macs.

- Generally, it sounds like some access right problem to me. Are the files writable? Are user rights set correctly? (Vaguely remember Mac OS is UNIX-like??)

- Do you have all required mods and maps installed ?
